I believe it is too early to begin Christmas (sorry, "holiday") music now. The day after Thanksgiving is most appropriate. However, for the past decade, it has become a standard practice to for stations nationwide to begin doing so up to a month before Thanksgiving. I can only hope that it will trend back toward Thanksgiving again in years ahead.
